<i>We're always looking to add to our gameday and postgame coverage here at AFTN, so in our new section, "Caps Countdown", we're going to do player rankings with a twist. The starting eleven is ranked from eleven to one, from worst to first. Who was the 'man of the match' and who had a game to forget against New England?</i>
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
<b>11 - Johnny Leveron</b>
- His communication with Knighton was horrible in the first 20 minutes. When he was to calm the play down he panicked and cleared the ball out-of-bounds. He was better in the final 30 when the Revs came on strong.
<b>10 - Matt Watson</b>
- He was in the proper spot during oncoming attacks but had numerous costly turnovers when the ball was at his feet. Looked very shaky on the ball.
<b>9 - Brad Knighton</b>
- Lets be honest he didn't have a chance on the first two goals. The defenders let him down. Made the huge save off the free kick when he had to win us the game but had a few uncommanding moments.
<b>8 - Daigo Kobayashi</b>
- It seemed like every time the ball came to him he didn't know what to do with it. He has not played enough to gel with the front three of Miller, Teibert and Camilo.
<b>7 - Carlyle Mitchell</b>
- Looked very confused in the first 30 minutes, which was somewhat understandable. After the second New England goal him and Knighton had a very heated exchange. Calmed down in the 2nd half. Had a great header assist on Miller's 1st goal. Filled in nicely
<b>6 - Jordan Harvey</b>
- Played very well in his defensive position. Had a great lead up to the run on his goal. Played Teibert's cross perfectly. The more people don't mention him, the more pressure off his shoulders.
<b>5 - YP Lee</b>
- Covered his wing very well. Got a little panicky when pressured. He was the best defender on the field in the game for the Whitecaps.
<b>4 - Russell Teibert</b>
- Keeps improving game by game. He is starting to let the flow of the game come to him. Got his fifth assist of the season in all competitions and his fourth in two games. Himself, Miller and Camilo will be great moving forward if all can stay healthy.
<b>3 - Camilo Sanvezzo</b>
- His penalty kick was money. The keeper played the kick as well as he could and he still didn't have a chance. Scored his team leading 9th goal of the season.
<b>2 - Nigel Reo-Coker</b>
- His play on the ball is second to none in the MLS. When he wanted the ball he took it, when he had the ball he kept it. He was very active helping out Leveron and Mitchell in the 2nd half. He was almost like a third CB when there was offensive pressure.
<b>1 - Kenny Miller</b>
- Two goals and a penalty kick earned (even if people say it wasn't really a penalty) His touch was great all night. First goal he controlled the ball with a great header, tapped it up with left quad and put it in with his left foot, and all that after a wonderful flick over the head of McCarthy to set up the chance. Second goal is a goal of the week candidate for sure. Lets hope he can stay healthy moving forward.
